    Your selection of questions is strange. They go from broad to zeroing in on
    pedals and tires. Why is that? If you want advice on pedals, ask. If you
    want to know what tires people prefer, just ask. You don't have to hide what
    you want among the vague questions....this doesn't look like a survey to me.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
    I agree. Here are a few more questions to add to your list:

    9. What color bicycle do you prefer?
    10. Do you believe that the hub hangs from the top spokes, or stands on the
    bottom spokes?
    11. If you often ride against the traffic with a helmet, so you consider
    yourself safer than riding with the traffic without a helmet?
    12. How long do you usually ride, and how long is your bike?

    <QUOTE> Currently, I am studying the presentation of self in cyberspace

    my guess is the intent of the OP is to study the group dynamics - why
    not read the archive and do the study ??

    googling around, i see lots of similar survey posts (to other groups)
    from the same source...

  6. That is the lamest fake study
    I've ever seen.

    Back to the drawing board,
